Praise for Ten / Two

Amy Rainis
John Carroll High School
This was a great play for my very small group of students. The students enjoyed performing in the scenes. I was also happy that it didn't require big/complicated sets.
Megan Goodman
John Paul II Catholic High School
This was the PERFECT solution during COVID. We were able to rehearse just two people at a time socially distant. The scenes were witty and well-written, and my students had a blast performing this!
Jo Matheson
Newlands College
The students really enjoyed exploring these scenes and working out how to activate them into enjoyable visual performances.
